Nerd Fitness Coaching

Total scam. Waste of money. There is no actual coaching—it’s just basically a habit tracker that you customize. I bought a six month package and stopped after three months because it was a total waste of time. I had no progress against any of my goals and the “coach” could see that and clearly didn’t care. It’s too bad as the philosophy of NF resonates with me, but this was a scam.

app is awful, would not recommend the coaching program either - scammy and uses template messages, no live interaction with coach

If you know how to research and vet trainers/coaches, NF is not worth $200/month. When I tried to schedule a call, I didn’t get one of the coaches but a member of a sales team who I knew was not qualified to answer specific questions I had about how to arrange a program that would work for me. I demanded she put one of the coaches on the line when I discovered this. She refused. This is all you really need to know. The NF team doesn’t understand that by forcing you to commit before you can be matched with a coach, you basically have to go through a double consult which means there is a reasonable chance you’ll draw a coach you won’t hit off with. It also indicates that the NF team does not trust the coaches to do their jobs which includes consulting potential clients, something the team refuses to accept. You’re better off spending extra money for an in-person certified trainer and registered dietician, unless of course you’re penny pinching or clueless on how to research coaches.
